Great, comfortable stay!
"Everything was great! The only thing I can say is we weren’t told how to get the parking through the hotel. I paid for it but then I didn’t know how to get out of the garage from that…I ended up paying another $12 to get out. I called and was told it would be taken off my bill and it wasn’t."
